Cold Coffee on the Dashboard · 仪表盘上的冷咖啡

[Verse 1]

Two hours out of Tulsa, radio gone to static

Gas station mint and a jacket I forgot to fold

There's a cold coffee on the dashboard from a morning I kept quiet

Still sitting in the holder like it's waiting to get old

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama called at seven, said the porch light's burning early

I told her I was fine — I rehearsed that in the drive

[Chorus]

And I don't miss you like a song, I miss you like a habit

Like a hand upon the gearshift reaching after someone gone

There's a cold coffee on the dashboard and a town behind me

Half of me is driving, half of me is holding on

[Verse 2]

Your brother's still in town, I hear he fixed the old red pickup

He asked if I'd been by — I said I'd think about it twice

There's a dent above the wheel well from the winter that we argued

I never paid to fix it, that dent's the only thing that's mine

[Pre-Chorus]

Mama called at seven, said the coffee's on the counter

I said I'd drink it warm — another line I had to buy

[Chorus]

And I don't miss you like a song, I miss you like a habit

Like a hand upon the gearshift reaching after someone gone

There's a cold coffee on the dashboard and a town behind me

Half of me is driving, half of me is holding on

[Bridge]

Every mile marker reads like a countdown

Every red light gives me time to turn around

I could park it at the church and walk the gravel

I could let the engine cool and hear the sound

[Harmonica Solo]

[Final Chorus]

'Cause I don't miss you like a song, I miss you like a habit

Like a hand upon the gearshift reaching after someone gone

There's a cold coffee on the dashboard and a town behind me

Half of me is driving — and half of me is home

[Outro]

Cold coffee, cold coffee, still in the holder

Cold coffee, cold coffee, I'll drink it when I'm older

Cold coffee, cold coffee — half of me is home
